| When generating HTML, do you bother to indent at all?
No. I usually produce one long line, and I use &# a lot to avoid the
moronic parser of the moronic syntax of the moronic language. Producing
nice-looking HTML for people is like optimizing PostScript files for
legibility -- an utter waste of time.

Do yourself a favor and read/edit/debug in a readable/editable/debuggable
language. HTML is not suitable for human consumption. Heck, it is not
even suitable for machine consumption.
